The whole language thing is about exclusion.

If it's just a conversation between two people, then it's no big deal what language you use. It's more of a problem if you're hanging out in a group and suddenly 2+ people start talking in a different language.

You force the non-speaker to just stand there like an idiot. Because they don't know what you're saying, you've effectively forced them out of the conversation.
